Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for automatically processing a carcass of a slaughtered animal suspended from the hind legs.
- the carcasses are, normally in line and hanging from their hind legs, presented in its entirety to be processed to carcass halves in several steps.
- the automatic processing of the carcasses requires dedicated equipment for the different processing steps. These different process steps can vary in different process lines but may include among others: removing the front legs, removing the skull, splitting the pubic bone, separating the anus and the rectum from the carcass, opening the abdominal wall and sternum, removing the entrails, pizzle removing, visual inspection, and stamping.
- a series of automatically controlled knives, braces, guides and detection means are required to process the carcasses of the slaughtered animal.
- WO 93/01725 is a patent application from the same applicant as the present invention, which publication is incorporated hereby in reference.
- This document discloses a method and device for opening the carcass of a slaughtered animal. A cut is made in the belly wall (abdominal wall) close to the hind legs of the carcass and this cut is continued in a downward direction, whereas the intestines are kept clear of the belly wall. The cut may be continued further to also open the breast (sternum) of the carcass.
- the disclosed technique functions successfully in practise. Normally the equipment is embodied by an individual cutting machine that is part of a line of various processing machines that all provide a different operation on the carcasses.
- a problem of the present equipment and methods of automatic processing of one or more steps in the processing of the carcasses of slaughtered animal is that it requires high volume flows of carcasses to recover the investments on the dedicated machinery required for such automation.
- the present invention now has the object to provide a method and a device that enables further automation of the processing of carcasses of slaughtered animal with limited investments. Furthermore the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device that enables further flexibility in the processing of carcasses.
- the present invention provides a device for automatically processing a carcass of a slaughtered animal suspended from the hind legs, comprising: automatically controlled drive means for handling a slaughtering processing tool; a rotatable cutting blade carried by the automatically controlled driving means to be displaced in substantially the plane of symmetry of the carcass for opening the abdominal wall of the carcass; and a cleaving blade carried by the automatically controlled driving means to split the pubic bone of the carcass.
- the device also comprises a shield partially covering the rotatable cutting blade which shield is provided with a protruding guide pin to slide behind the abdominal wall of the carcass during opening of the abdominal wall.
- the cleaving blade may be attached to the shield that partially covers the rotatable cutting blade.
- the automatically controlled drive means for handling a slaughtering processing tool may for instance be a robot arm however any other manipulator can be chosen as an alternative, for instance a more traditional X, Y, Z-manipulator can be used also within the scope of the present invention.
- the shield may partially cover the rotatable cutting blade and may be provided to hold the intestines clear of the abdominal wall (also referred to as the belly wall).
- the protruding guide pin that is joined to the shield may help in combination with the shield to guide the rotatable knife relative to the carcass while cutting the abdominal wall (and also during cutting of the sternum if such cutting is taking place).
- the protruding guide pin can be slided behind the abdominal wall of the carcass during opening of the abdominal wall, but the guide pin may also be used to exert a pulling force to the abdominal wall during cutting with the rotatable cutting blade so to “pull” the abdominal wall outward relative to the entrails.
- cleaving of the pubic bone Normally one of the different processing steps on the carcasses of slaughtered animal that takes place before the opening of the abdominal wall and sternum of the carcasses is the cleaving of the pubic bone.
- Such cleaving of the pubic bone may be done manually but in high capacity slaughtering lines automatically equipment is provided that uses a cutting tool (cleaver), which is relative heavy in relation to the belly wall opener and that is embodied as a knife that is pushed through the pubic bone.
- the cleaving blade may be embodied as a stationary cleaving blade however also different type of cleaving blades may be used, for instance a cleaving blade that is intermittedly of otherwise moved during the cleaving operation.
- the knife that is used to open the abdominal wall (belly wall) and sternum (breast) of the carcass is normally a rotatable cutting blade provided with a shielding element and a guiding guard that prevents the cutting of intestines and/or other internal body parts.
- the rotatable cutting blade can also be used for cleaving the pubic bone but such dual use of the rotatable cutting blade has several disadvantages.
- the rotatable cutting blade will be liable to wear when used for opening the (relative hard) pubic bone.
- the rotatable cutting blade has to be provided with teeth for cutting the pubic bone but will then be aggressive in opening the abdominal wall and sternum and the problem may arise that the cutting is not at the desired location.
- the round shape of the rotatable cutting blade is less suited for cutting the pubic bone.
- a large cut will be achieved if the rotatable cutting blade is used for cutting the pubic bone with an enhanced risk for damaging the entrails (intestines and bladder).
- not all the pubic bones can be split with the rotatable cutting blade as it is not always possible to determine the position of the pubic bone from the outside of the carcass.
- the risk for damaging the entrails is thus also smaller.
- the cleaving blade will find “it's own way”; the cleaving blade is guided by the shape of the pubic bone.
- the rotatable cutting blade does not have to be provided with teeth thus making the rotatable cutting blade better suited for opening the abdominal wall (as well as the sternum).
- the rotatable cutting blade will last longer; the wear of the rotatable cutting blade is limited.
- the disadvantage of using a cleaving blade for opening the pubic bone is that such requires an additional automatically controlled drive means (e.g. robot arm).
- the present invention enables the effective use of the combination of a rotatable cutting blade with a cleaving blade on an efficient way as only a single automatically controlled drive means can handle both with only limited amendment of an traditional processing station for opening the abdominal wall and the sternum that makes use of a rotatable cutting blade.
- the change of the operative and inoperative positions of the rotatable cutting blade and the cleaving blade may simply be realised by changing the position of the shield that partially covers the rotatable cutting blade relative to the rotatable cutting blade.
- Such change op position of the shield is possible by pivoting the shield relative to the rotatable cutting blade, for instance around the same axis as the rotatable cutting blade rotates around.
- the position of the shield that partially covers the rotatable cutting blade relative to the rotatable cutting blade may automatically be controlled.
- a shield (cover) from which the position is automatically controlled.
- the device may also comprise detection means connecting to the automatic control of the drive means.
- detection means e.g. a vision system, enables to relate the individual properties of each carcass to the automatic controlled processing of the carcasses.
- a simple yet reliable construction to combine the cleaving blade and the shield that partially covers the rotatable cutting blade is to provide the shield with an additional arm that carries the cleaving blade.
- the cleaving blade may be detachably connected to the shield partially covering the rotatable cutting blade.
- the present invention also provides a method for automatically processing a carcass of a slaughtered animal comprising the steps: a) providing a carcass of a slaughtered animal; b) suspending the carcass from the hind legs; c) splitting the pubic bone of the carcass with an automatically handled cleaving knife; and d) arranging a cut in the abdominal wall close to the hind legs substantially in the plane of symmetry of the carcass with an automatically handled rotating cutting blade; and e) holding the intestines clear of the belly wall during step d), wherein at the moment that the automatically handled rotating cutting blade that is used in processing step d) is making contact with the carcass the cleaving knife that is used in processing step c) is still in contact with the same carcass.
- the operative position of cleaving knife and the inoperative position of the rotatable cutting blade are changed to an inoperative position of the cleaving knife and an operative position of the rotatable cutting blade
- An important advantage of this method is that the two operations of splitting the pubic bone and cutting the abdominal wall are partially overlapping thus shortening the combined processing time of these two operations. Furthermore the advantages as described in relation to the device according the present invention are also applicable to the method according the present invention.
- the abdominal wall may also be tensioned (pulled outward) so to further limit the chance of damaging of the intestines with the rotatable knife or the protruding guide pin.
- the cut in the abdominal wall will be continued to the sternum so to cut the abdominal wall and the sternum with a single action.
- the inoperative position of the cleaving knife and an operative position of the rotatable cutting blade is changed back to the cleaving knife's operative position and the rotatable cutting blade's inoperative position.
- a simple solution for changing of the cleaving knife's position and the rotatable cutting blade's position is to change the position of a shield partially covering the rotatable cutting blade which shield part carries the cleaving knife relative to the rotatable cutting blade.
- Such change of the position of the shield may be realised by simply rotating the shield part relative to the rotatable cutting blade.
